That sounds like a stupid question to even askBut,as I hear different home schooling teachers discuss history, I get the idea that there may bedifferent reasons for teaching historyLet me briefly explain the three good reasons for studyinghistory and two bad reasons for studying historyThe major reason I see for studying history is that we can learn from the pastI amconvinced that the world would be a much better place if more people understood the successesand failures of the past and the thifigs that made these successes and failuresHowever, as theunfortunately true statement goes the one thing we seem to learn from history is that we dontseem to learn from history Perhaps at least in teaching history, to my children I can do a smallpart in changing thisA second major reason for studying history is that it is hard to understand the currentpolitical climate in the absence of an understanding of its historical contextWe can- not evenunderstand why we are and where we are without history, much less （更不必说） try to figureout where we are going or how we should get where we want to beI teach my children history, for one more reasonI purchased a set of historical audio （录音机） tapes for our childrenMy seven-year-old son listened to them over and overIt was myhope that he would become inspired by the accomplishments of people like the Wright brothers toaccomplish things by himselfI think that it is good that we celebrate the accomplishments ofpeople like Martin Luther King Jrif, in doing so, young people are called on to stand for theprinciples that he stood for and accomplish what he accomplishedI also think that by studyingpeople like Adolph Hitler, people can learn to stand against the things that he stood for56What message can we get from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 ?AMany people arent clever enough to learn well from the pastBMany people fail to make good use of history and make the same mistakesCMany people feel it hard to understand historyDMany people have no interest in studying history57In Paragraph 3, the author shows that history is useful because _Ait makes the current political situation go smoothlyBit helps us realize the importance of historical eventsCit helps us understand why things are the way they areDit helps people accept the present situation where they live58Some historical figures are mentioned in the last paragraph to show _Apeople can be inspired to do good, while also learning to fight against evilBpeople may also learn from bad historical figuresCmore celebrations should be held to honor their achievementsDtodays people can also achieve what they achieved59What would be talked about in the following paragraph?AHow to teach history effectivelyBSome negative reasons for studying historyCHow to get more people to study historyDSome bad historical figures60The main purpose of this passage is to _Ainsme the parents to teach their children historyBshow the importance of history in politicsCexplain the reasons why children study historyDintroduce the writer s own way of teaching historyBWhen in 1789, George Washin became the first president of the United States, there was nopermanent capital in which to house the government. During the Revolutionary War severaldifferent cities had served as the national capital. In addition, members of congress could not agreeas to where this permanent capital should be located. Some officials wanted it in the north, otherswanted it in the south. Each of the states hoped that the capital might lie within its own state lines.At last it was decided that the capital should occupy a section by itself, separate from any of thestates. The place chosen was situated on the Potomac River. The land belonged originally to thestate of Maryland, but Maryland agreed to the national government. The section was named theWashington.

NASA launched an investigation into the disaster and began searching for theastronauts remains. It said that although there had been some data failures it was too early to naildown a precise cause. The break-up, 16 minutes before the shuttle was due to land at KennedySpace Center in Florida, spread possibly toxic debris(有毒的残骸) over a wide swath of Texasand neighboring states.Dramatic television images of the shuttles descent clearly showed several white trails(痕迹)streaking through blue skies after the shuttle suddenly fell apart. It was almost 17 years to the daythat the Challenger shuttle exploded on Jan. 28, 1986, killing all seven astronauts on board.Take-off and re-entry into Earths atmosphere are the most dangerous parts of a space mission.In 42 years of US human space flight, there had never been an accident in the descent to Earth orlanding. Challenger exploded just after take-off.Rescue teams scrambled to search for the remains of the crew, which included the first Israelito fly on the shuttle, former combat pilot Col. Ilan Ramon. There were warnings that parts of avast 120-mile-long corridor of debris could be toxic because of poisonous rocket propellant(推进器).We are not ready to confirm that we have found any human remains, Nacogdoches CountySheriff Thomas Kerrs said. He added that among the roughly 1,000 calls reporting debris, somepeople said they found remains of crew members.The Columbia is lost.

Once we were all able to pull our toes up by our ears and laugh about it.Then we aged, got injured, and began carrying stress in our shoulders and back. In short, we lostour balance.Yoga（瑜伽） is an ancient practice that helps create a sense of union in body, mind, and spirit. Itbrings us balance. I was seriously out of balance when I started practicing yoga in 1999. I hadplantar fascitis in both feet, and my doctor had warned me against all the things I loved to do:walking, hiking, and playing tennis. I was desperate for exercise. Yoga became my salvation andeven enhanced my other fitness activities. I practice yoga at least twice a week, but I consideryoga to be part of my daily life because after a while you no longer just practice yogayou loveit.Yoga becomes part of your physical life. Your body grows stronger, more toned, and more flexibleas you move from one pose to the other. I spent a week in Mexico at a yoga retreat, and it was thefirst vacation on which I lost weight. “Rather than building muscle, yoga builds muscle tone,” saysShakta Kaur Khalsa, author of the K.I.S.S. Guide to Yoga. “Because yoga helps maintain abalanced metabolism (新陈代谢), it also helps to regulate weight. Additionally, yoga stretchesmuscles lengthwise, causing fat to be removed around the cells.” I do yoga poses throughout theday. After hours at my computer, I stretch my stiff shoulders and arms. When I need a boost ofenergy, I do energizing poses. When I am feeling exhausted at the end of the day, I do restorativeposes.Yoga becomes part of your mental life. Yoga teaches you to focus on breathing while you hold theposes. This attention to breath is calming; it dissolves stress and anxiety. I use yogic breathing onthe tennis courts, in the dentists chair, and in traffic jams. You should always leave a yogapractice feeling energized, not tired. If you feel tired after yoga, it means you spent the time“fighting” yourself, trying to force yourself into poses. In yoga, you “surrender” to the pose byletting go of the tension.Yoga becomes part of your spiritual life. Yoga is practiced by people from all religions; it is notrestricted to any religious group. Yoga teaches “right” living in how we deal with ourselves andothers. As I work on a difficult pose, I learn patience, forgiveness, and the value of gentleness.Yoga advocates proper eating, but you dont have to be a vegetarian to practice yoga.69. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Whats Yoga?C. The Benefits of YogaB. How I Do Yoga PosesD. The Varieties of Yoga70. According to the third paragraph, yoga can help people _.A. grow tallerC. become flexible in thinkingB. lose weightD. make more friends71. People feel tired after yoga because _.A. they consume energy in practicing yogaB. they respond well to yoga posesC. they spend too much time on yogaD. they force themselves into yoga poses72. If this passage continues, what will the writer most probably write about in the nextparagraph?A. Yoga as a means to keep fit.B. Different yoga poses.C. Popularity of yoga all over the world. D. Encouraging people to do yoga.ENorth Chinas Tianjin Municipality(直辖市) has started a “Blue Sky Project” to control the airpollution.Under the project requirements, the air quality in Tianjin is expected to measure up to the nationalstandard by 2020;2020, when two thirds of days in the year will enjoy fairly good or excellent airquality.In order to achieve the goal, Tianjin will take a series of measures such as controlling the use ofcoal, reducing the dust floating from construction sites, planting trees along the major streets, andreplacing petrol with liquid natural gas as the fuel for vehicles.Since people paid little attention to the environmental protection, the air quality in Tianjin hasworsened during the past decade.
